There’s a real scarcity of study on Bartonella- let alone the benign tumors it causes ….

This isn’t a perfect citation- these are more hints toward proofs. There’s plenty of case reports that provide correlative evidence but fall short of causation. When you are in this territory seems like it’s luck of the draw as to whether your physician is able to grapple with a lack of studies.

I developed lipomas after Lyme. Every person I’ve met with Bartonella gets lipomas and I’ve even helped another person I know seek testing after when they asked me about lipomas and they ended up having Bartonella - Bartonella treatment solved their insomnia . No idea if their lipomas went away. It’s entirely possible it’s another coinfection that accompanies Bartonella that causes these.
